Make Good Choices.

Welcome to my place. It has stuff in it.

Me, drinking a canned Starbucks Espresso and Cream Light beverage:

"Wow, this tastes awful."

Last week I went to Misquamicut. #misquamicut #beach #sketch #sketchbook #art (at Misquamicut Beach, Westerly RI) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgKkyF9pA_8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The toy story manga is a thing. I'm not fucking joking, it exists. Google it. I've read it on graphitecomics.com and woody has me in tears.

Look at him.

Reblogging again. Firefox is an excellent, safe and fast browser and everyone should consider using it.

[badgraph1csghost]

Don’t just consider it. If you have the ability to switch to Firefox, this is your official notice to do it.

Stop everything you’re doing and go download and install Firefox.

If you’re saying, “well, I need Chrome because I need such-and-such extension for my job”, the computer will not explode if you install another browser. Use Chrome ONLY for work tasks and use Firefox for everything else. If you’re concerned about losing your bookmarks, Firefox can import your Chrome bookmarks.

[ID: Firefox Library window. The “Import and Backup” panel is expanded, displaying the option, “Import Data from Another Browser”, which is also circled with a red MS Paint ellipse. ID end.]

And, don’t forget to install uBlock Origin while you’re at it.

Forgot a thing. Subscribe to Mozilla VPN for bonus points. It’s basically the only truly secure VPN service in the world right now.

For $5 a month, you can completely conceal your online activities from your ISP in a manner that isn’t just immediately monetised or turned over to the cops. No, it’s not free, it does cost money, but the money doesn’t go to line a billionaire’s pockets.

I wonder how much of this is because of work/school from home forcing people to use Chrome so all their stupid monitoring softwares and platforms can work.

[ms-demeanor]

This is also your reminder that you don't have to use just one browser. You can use chrome for all the monitoring bullshit your office wants you to run and use firefox for everything else.

Be sure to add the multi account containers extension to your firefox, which allows you to be logged in to multiple accounts on the same website at the same time in the same window but in different tabs.

look on my five open tumblr accounts (not sideblogs, accounts!) ye mighty and despair.

Firefox is super good, folks. It's good in a general "google shouldn't own everything in the entire fucking world" sense AND in a "this is an actual good product that does lots of cool shit" sense.

ALSO make sure to add the Ublock origin extension on Firefox - I haven't seen a youtube ad in five years and you don't have to either.

While you're at it, why not add the Wayback Machine extension so that if you go looking for a page that has been taken down the wayback machine will automatically offer you an archived version instead; also handy for documenting people's shitty takes and winning arguments after they delete the original post!

Worried that Firefox is going to slow down your computer? In benchmarks, modern versions of chrome and firefox are pretty much the same speed but you can still install the auto tab discard extension ANYWAY so that it will snooze unused tabs in order to keep your computer running faster. Set it to sleep, discard, close, and store tags at your discretion!

And while you're at it: install Firefox as your mobile browser for android and add those extensions to your mobile browser! Mobile adblock is here, baybee, save your data and enjoy a better mobile experience! And install it on iOS! iOS can't add extensions, but at least it's better than safari, and if you want a somewhat more private iOS browsing experience try firefox focus for iOS (which is also available on android but you can accomplish the same thing with extensions).

Anyway, firefox is good.

[unicorn-elvis]

Also: in January 2023, Chrome is making some changes to plugin architecture that effectively neutering adblockers.  If you want good adblocking, you won’t have it in Chrome.  Use Firefox

(In fairness, some Chrome-derived browsers like Vivaldi and Opera have openly parted ways with Chrome about this, and more power to them, but Firefox is the way to go.)

For even more anti-Google points, set DuckDuckGo as your default search engine.

Last night I dreamt that I had an odd case of male pattern baldness. I was looking at myself in the mirror. My hair was much thicker and darker than usual in the places where I still had it. There was no gradual thinning along the hairline but a stark border between thick hair and no hair. My recessed hairline was very geometric, with my bald temples looking like they were cut with a protractor.

Kolam from a few weeks ago for Indian Art class. I've been thinking of posting more again. #kolam #indianart (at UConn School of Fine Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeAp0HPOgkQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

50 posts!

[therealshadowmancer64]

I agree.

[toskarin]

this is an insane way to talk about a predominantly singleplayer/co-op game, to be clear

[horror-horo-hollow]

Microtransactions and subscription based games have completely ruined video game analytics and given journalists even more brain rot than before

[the-most-wonderfulest-thing]

yeah

[therealshadowmancer64]

These journalists are gonna have a heart attack when they find out what a movie is. 💀

Planned Parenthood got LOUDR 🔊 @ Tumblr

WHO THEY ARE:

Planned Parenthood’s mission is to ensure all people have access to the care and resources they need to make informed decisions about their bodies, their lives, and their futures. Founded in 1916, Planned Parenthood is a trusted health care provider, educator, and passionate advocate in the U.S. as well as a strong partner to health and rights organizations around the world. Each year, Planned Parenthood delivers vital sexual and reproductive health care, sex education, and information to millions of people.

WHAT THEY DID:

🩺 On October 1, 2021, Planned Parenthood partnered with Tumblr to rally supporters for abortion justice and defend access to abortions at 539 rallies in every state.

🩺 On September 3, 2021, Tumblr and Planned Parenthood partnered up in response to a Texas law that came into effect September 1, S.B. 8., effectively banning abortion in the state and asking private citizens to act as bounty hunters who “enforce” the law.

We made the following calls to action along with the graphic below:
